With news of Joel Embiid's foot injury releasing today, the top pick in the NBA Draft becomes a 2-man race. It was widely believed that the Cavaliers would draft Embiid with their 1st overall pick before they discovered of his foot injury. Now, it is highly doubtful the Cavs take a chance on Embiid, especially considering their recent failure in the Draft (Cleveland drafted Anthony Bennett 1st overall last year). Teams must contemplate taking a chance on the Cameroonian kid with elite athleticism and size, with the possibility that he may play as many games as Greg Oden has.
One thing is certain; the Sixers cannot be happy that the obvious top 3 prospects are now a top 2. Will Embiid fall down draft boards like Jared Sullinger or Aaron Rodgers did? Only time will tell. Either way, change those mock drafts people!
